Right now, I’m feeling concerned and wondering what is going on in regards to Sublinks here, since I have created a community for discussion on koalas about a week ago on here and have started and been doing work on it recently. But now I’m hearing about Sublinks and feeling concerned if I created it on the wrong instance or the wrong platform since I’m now just recently hearing about it. I’m just feeling worried and wondering whether or not if I should do anything or not.

    So rather than the relatively simple task of learning rust (honestly not that tough for any half decent engineer, a couple of weekend toy projects had me more or less up to speed with it) they’re going to rebuild and track lemmy API changes—a technically endless task?

    And I’ve just seen it’s Spring Boot too, which I’m fairly sure most of the industry is trying to move away from.

    Shame the engineers want to spend all that effort that would be better spent improving lemmy rather than fracturing development resources between the two projects.

    I’ve now gone from ambivalent towards this to actively hoping it fails.

    Edit: see the above comment’s blog post for more context that changed my mind
